This is the whole code that is in my CSS file


p{font: Bold 14px sans-serif}

.left{margin-left: 1cm; filter:glow(color=red,strength=2)}

a.green:one:link
{
color: #00a26b;
font: Bold 12px sans-serif;
text-aline:left;
text-decoration:none;
margin-left: 0.25cm
}

a.green:one:visited
{
color: #00a26b;
font: Bold 12px sans-serif;
text-aline:left;
text-decoration:none;
margin-left: 0.25cm
}

a.green:one:hover
{
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #00a26b;
font: Bold 12px sans-serif;
text-aline:left;
text-decoration:none;
margin-left: 0.25cm
}

h2
{
font-family:sans-serif;
font-weight:Bold;
text-align:center
}

img.ab
{
position:absolute;
left:517px
}

BODY
{
scrollbar-face-color: #00a26b;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #4D3E1E;
scrollbar-highlight-color: black;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: black;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #4D3E1Eb;
scrollbar-track-color: default;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #536D87;
}

I know that the body-scrollbar commands, don't work on many things other than IE, but why would the action commands for the hyper link "a.green:one:link " would not work in Netscape, or MAC's IE or Netscape. Basically it only works on Windows IE. The other CSS tags work, the "p" and the ".left" on other plateforms just not the action links.

Which I find funny since I have seen site with CSS external scripts (odviously), and when I test them on MAC's or Netscape they work, except the body scrollbar, but in my case they don't.

Can anyone explain why this is.

Thanks

Also, can you explain why if I put a DocType at the beging of my page it wipes out all the CSS scripts, even the one that work otherwise.

And what I mean is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

Actually that is not intierly true, when i put the Doctype, it only wipes out the action link CSS scripts, just like on a Mac, and Netscape, so the problem is probably there then. Could someone tell me what is wrong with the action link part of my script.

Thanks

Don't bother, it was a typo.

in the "a.green:one:link" the word "one" was from a previous version of the script I wrote as a test. I then proceeded to be more specific and put green for the color, but I did not remove the word one. and when I called it in the class I simply called the class="green".

Which I guess Windows IE recognized anyways because it is stupid (personal opinion of this user, not one necessarily shared by the forum)( I don't want to get anyone in trouble), where the others simple did not recognize the class being called.

If nothing else this is a lesson on, checking, and double checking your scripts.

Take care.
